SA vs CAN, T20 World Cup 2026 Predicted XI: South Africa's T20 World Cup 2026 campaign begins on Monday against Canada at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, following a lacklustre warm-up against India, where their bowlers struggled to execute plans.

Dilpreet Bajwa-led Canada faces a daunting T20 World Cup debut, coming off a string of defeats and a 10-run loss to Italy in their warm-up game.

The Proteas have a mix of experience and youthful energy with seasoned players like Quinton de Kock, Aiden Markram, David Miller, and Kagiso Rabada complemented by youngsters Dewald Brevis, Marco Jansen, and Kwena Mapahaka.
